The “Neo Victorian” design structure is 110 feet long, 22-feet wide, and 14-feet, six inches high. Construction started in 1998, and it was funded by an ODOT Timber Grant.

2. South Denmark Road Bridge(2.7 miles from Netcher Road Bridge) Built in 1890, this Town lattice bridge spans Mill Creek. The 81-foot structure was bypassed in 1975, but is easily accessible.

3. Caine Road Bridge(6.7 miles from S. Denmark Bridge) This fi rst Pratt truss bridge in Ohio was built in 1986 in honor of Ashtabula County’s 175th Anniver-sary. The 124-foot long bridge traverses the west branch of the Ashtabula River in Pier-pont Twp.

4. Graham Road Bridge(5.9 miles from Caine Road Bridge) The Graham Road Bridge, which was built from remnants of a bridge washed downstream in the 1913 flood, now sits in a small park on the south side of the road. The 97-foot Town Truss was over the west branch of the Ashtabula River in Pierpont Township.

5. Root Road Bridge(3.9 miles from Graham Road Bridge) A 114-foot Town lattice built in 1868, Root crosses the Ashtabula River. It was raised 18 inches during the rehabilitation in 1982/83, and new laminated girders and a center concrete pier were added.

6. Middle Road Bridge(8.3 miles from Root Road Bridge) This 136-foot Howe truss bridge was built in 1868 over Conneaut Creek, which is the longest river in eastern Ashtabula County. It was re-constructed in 1984 with the help of three volunteers and four college students.

7. State Road Bridge(5.1 miles from Middle Road Bridge) Containing 97,000 feet of southern pine and oak, the State Road Bridge was erected in 1983 across Conneaut Creek. The 152-foot Town lattice span was the fi rst covered bridge designed and built by County En-gineer John Smolen, Jr. A four-foot tall window extends the length of the bridge showing the Town lattice construction. The dedication of the bridge in 1983 was the forerunner of the Covered Bridge Festival.

8. Creek Road Bridge(3.4 miles from State Road Bridge) The con-struction date of this 125-foot Town lattice bridge is unknown. It sits 25 feet above the Conneaut Creek and was extensively reno-vated in 1994.

10. Olin Bridge(2.5 miles from Benetka Road Bridge) Located on Dewey Road in Plymouth Township, Olin is the bridge named for a family. The Olin’s have owned property next to the bridge since it was built in 1873. The 115 foot Town lattice structure over the Ashtabula River was renovated in 1985.

11. Giddings Road Bridge(8 miles from the Smolen-Gulf Bridge) Pratt truss construction was used for this 107-foot bridge built in 1995 with funding from an ODOT Timber Grant. It crosses Mill Creek in Jefferson Twp.

12. Doyle Road(1.8 miles from Jefferson) A 94-foot long Town lattice bridge built in 1868. Doyle spans Mill Creek. Mill Creek is a tributary of the Grand River. This bridge was renovated in 1987 when a lami-nated arch was added.

13. Harpersfi eld Bridge(11.2 miles from Doyle) This two-span Howe truss bridge is 228-feet long, use to be the longest covered bridge in Ohio. It spans the Grand River, which is the primary drainage channel of west-ern Ashtabula County. The bridge was built in 1868 and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Located in the County Metro Park it is a great place to picnic. A flood in 1913 washed soil away from the north end of the bridge and changed the river chan-nel. The steel bridge was then attached. A walkway was added in 1991-92 when the bridge was renovated.

14. Liberty Street BridgeLiberty Street Bridge is located on West Liberty Street just west of Rt. 534 in Geneva. It’s 18’ span carries traffi c across Cowles Creek. Completed in 2011 it became known as Liberty Bridge and it is the shortest covered bridge open to traffi c in the US. It was constructed by the A-Tech school who also constructed a small toll booth similar to what covered bridged had during pioneer days.

15. Mechanicsville Road Bridge(4.6 miles from Harpersfi eld Bridge) The second longest single-span Covered Bridge in Ashtabula County, this 156 ft. Howe truss with arch was built over Grand River in 1867. The arch is 15 layers of 2 x 8 lumber encased by large beams which form the X’s of the Howe truss. Believed to be the oldest of the County’s covered bridges. This bridge was renovated in 2003-2004 and was once again opened to traffi c in the spring of 2004

16. Riverdale Road Bridge(9.2 miles from Mechanicsville Bridge) This 114-foot Town

lattice bridge sits high above the Grand River. It was built in

1874. The floor was rebuilt in 1981 and glue-laminated wood

girders were added. Center steel bracing had been replaced

under the bridge in 1945. The road at the east end of the

bridge washed out in 1987, and a new concrete abutment was

built for added support.

17. Windsor Mills Bridge(14.5 miles from Riverdale Road Bridge) Located in a very picturesque area

of the county, Windsor Mills Bridge spans Phelps Creek, a tributary of the

Grand River. Built in 1867, the Town lattice sits atop cut stone abutments

with unique center supports. One is of sandstone quarried nearby. The

other, in contrast, is made from creek stone. Windsor Mills Bridge is also

listed in the National Register of Historic Places. This bridge was renovated

in 2002-2004 and was once again opened to traffi c in the spring of 2004

18. SMOLEN-GULF (2.6 miles from Olin Bridge) The longest covered bridge in the United States

tin (current County Engineer) the bridge was dedicated August 26, 2008. The

width of 30 ft. and height of 14 ft. 6 in. it will support full legal load traffi c and

Bella Care Hospice is pleased to

announce ACMC physician

Abdul Shahed, MD, as our new Medical Director

Bella Care Hospice is Different

Person-Centered Approach to Care

Our Hospice develops a plan of care for each patient

based on their specifi c needs, and customizes each

patient’s experience in order to provide the best end-

of-life care possible.

Family Involvement

Bella Care Hospice doesn’t just care for the patient, we

also care for the patient’s family and caregivers. In hos-

pice care, “family” is defi ned as whoever the patient

says it is. Hospice is not meant to replace the family,

but rather to provide additional support and care.

Celebrate Life

Celebrate Life is truly as unique as each individual.

We look to enhance care by celebrating a patient’s life

journey through a person-centered, holistic approach.

Some examples of Celebrate life events include:

• Attending a grandchild’s wedding

• Special outings to sporting events and concerts

• Honoring special hobbies, pets, quilting,

cheerleading, etc.

• Reuniting family members and close friends
